Abstract/Summary:
As accountability continues to increase with the federal act of No Child Left Behind, public school districts across the nation are asking themselves what can be done to ensure that all students receive an equitable education and achieve academically. This Alternative Capstone Project: Bridging the Latino English Language Learner Academic Achievement Gap in Elementary School used the gap analysis model to examine an area of concern in Glendale Unified School District. After the district identified a problem, a team of three USC doctoral students analyzed the district to determine root causes and identify potential solutions for implementation.
